A diesel shortage has stranded many fishing vessels in the coastal town of Phan Thiet in Binh Thuan Province and the morning fish markets are eerily quiet.

 

The Phan Thiet port in the central province was unusually quiet Monday morning despite it being peak fishing season. Hundreds of fishing vessels were not returning from the sea as usual. They were docked next to each other from Con Cha wharf to Tran Hung Dao Bridge. Occasionally, a few owners went out to check up on their fishing vessels.

 

Dang To, 47-year-old owner of a fishing boat, said many local fishermen have been unable to purchase diesel over the last two days. His fishing boat has five crew members and they focus on fishing in waters around Phu Quy Island. He needed over 4,000 liters of diesel for a 10-day journey at sea.
